Appeal No. 1999-0224
Application No. 08/649,889
described as involving graphics, nor is it disclosed as providing commands to another
portion of the system. Furthermore, the examiner has not established that the ISDN
Network of the reference is, or includes, a graphics/command network.
Still further, it is not established that the reference teaches means to playback and
record audio/video signals. The examiner apparently relies on the teaching of a monitor-
mounted camera, speaker and microphone combination to meet the claimed means.
However, it has not been shown that the camera and its associated apparatus both
records and plays back audio/video signals.
Lastly, there is simply no disclosure that the Multipoint Control Unit of the reference,
either by itself or in combination with other structure of the system, is an element which
transmits and receives commands, and sets up respective networks, as defined in the last
paragraph of claim 1.
